Note: The questions provided to you are a "wish list”, and it was not expected that a single vendor could provide all of the services. We need to know what services you can provide, and we will write the

Request for Proposal (RFP) to exclude as few potential vendors as possible. For example, based on some of our initial responses, it appears likely, that the purchasing of Knoll furniture will not be included in the RFP.
